Guest yaro137@googlemail.com Posted April 10, 2008 Posted April 10, 2008 I've installed RD client on one of the 2kpro PCs on the network and when I try to use it co connect to other computers it works just fine. The problem is when I go the other way round so connecting say from the 2003SBS to that 2kpro machine. I'm getting a message saying that I cannot connect to that computer as remote connection might be not be enabled on it. How do I go about enabling it then? There is no Remote tab as in XP. I found some articles about installing TS on it from Add/ Remove Windows components but I jus can't find it there. Does anyone know how to get it work? Thanks yaro

Windows 2000 Professional does not support Remote Desktop (inbound). You can install the remote desktop client on it so you can remote into other windows comptuers that support it (Windows XP Pro and Server 2000/2003) but that's it. Windows 2000 Server supports inbound RDP (remote desktop protocol via Terminal Services) but they didn't include this functionality in 2000 Professional. If you really need to be able to remote into a 2000 Pro box, you can use other software like the freely available TightVNC (http://www.tightvnc.com/). HTH, Jim
